I have actually seen 4 of them I the wild since I got mine 2 months ago. Funny thing, one day the person behind me at the grocery store check-out has one and 90 minutes later, at a sports bar, the guy sitting next to me also has one. All happy with their purchase.

Nice to hear there is one in Asheville. I'm in Charlotte yet to see or touch one. Question how is the service in Asheville area thinking about making the switch from Verizon to att to get a masterful Passport!

I'd like to know as well. I travel for work covering NC, SC and Ga. Living in Gastonia. Asheville is a big market for me and currently on VZW, but would like to switch to ATT for the PP.

I just got mine a few days ago after finally having the opportunity to try one out on a recent trip to New York. As far as I know I might well be the only one in the Charlotte area with a Passport. I can't comment on signal quality though since I'm on T-Mobile but since I get LTE everywhere I go nearly I imagine AT&T could only be the same or better.

I'd only ever seen 2 BB10's in the wild (one of which I had bought for my father so not really "in the wild") till recently, I was about to walking into a meeting and I saw another guy standing with a Passport. My first thought was "What's that guy doing with my phone?!" because being in the US, my brains defaults to the assumption that mine will pretty much be the only BB10 device I see around me. :-/ But after I felt the juiced up, hard rectangle in my pocket, I realized that guy was a fellow Passport owner. I pulled my phone out and said to him with a smirk, "You got a cool phone there." He looked amazed and said, "Oh wow, have not seen one of those in this country!" (I think he was visiting from Canada; we have people visiting for work all the time in our company, so very likely). That was a good moment in an otherwise BS day.

So I work in Vail Colorado, in a fine jewelry and watch store. We get people from all over the world. Many very successful people. I see lots of BB phones. I see lots of these business people moving away from BB. Sometimes I do get to help people move back towards BB10, but it's tough. I'm known, around town, as the BB guy.

So one night, after work, I stop by my favorite coffee shop/bar. I'm sitting at the end of the bar and in walks a VERY attractive woman. I'm 60, so I'll call her a girl? She sit's at the bar stool right next to me and proceeds to set her Passport on the bar!!! Now, I've been dying to see one in the flesh, right? Well I say to her "OMG you have a Blackberry Passport?" All the while, staring at it! She notices my staring and asks if I want to touch it? I say yes and pick it up and start zooming around it. She starts to lean towards me, as if she's going to help me learn how to use it. Then says "whoa, I don't need to show you around it, do I". I mention that I have a Z30 and she responds with, WOW I've never seen one and starts checking out my phone.
So this interaction lasts 15 or so minutes and off we go, in our own separate directions.
At least I now know that I want one! Couldn't have been a more pleasant experience finding out. Now, PLEASE VERIZON!!! GET US ONE!
